Credential-based attacks are one of the most common entry points for cybercriminals and in most cases, the vulnerability isn’t a technical flaw. It’s a reused password, a shared login, or an employee who had access long after they should have.
For IT and security teams, the challenge isn’t just protecting accounts. It’s maintaining visibility across a growing number of SaaS applications, enforcing consistent access policies, and making secure behaviour the path of least resistance for employees, without creating unnecessary friction.
That is why Secon is proud to partner with LastPass, a password and identity management solution used by more than 100,000 organisations worldwide, to help businesses reduce credential risk, improve access visibility, and make secure working easier for everyone.
Why Secon chose to partner with LastPass
Secon’s decision to partner with LastPass is rooted in a clear need: organisations need credential security that is effective, scalable, and easy to use.
LastPass provides a cloud-based password manager that works across devices, allowing users to generate, store, share, and manage passwords securely. But it goes further than password management alone.
LastPass integrates with identity providers including Microsoft Entra ID and Okta, and supports centralised policies, flexible admin controls, and detailed reporting to help organisations standardise credential security across the whole organisation. SaaS Monitoring gives IT teams’ visibility into which applications employees are actually using, including unsanctioned tools and AI applications that may have been adopted without IT’s knowledge, helping organisations understand and manage Shadow IT before it becomes a risk. SaaS Protect builds on that visibility, allowing IT teams to block, restrict, or approve access to specific applications, guide users with real-time messages, and address risky credential behaviours as they happen.
For Secon customers, LastPass can support key security goals, including:
- Reducing the risk of weak, reused, or compromised passwords
- Improving credential hygiene across employees and teams
- Simplifying secure access for users across devices and applications
- Supporting IT teams with centralised access policies and reporting
- Uncover unsanctioned or underutilised applications
- Strengthening compliance readiness
- Reducing password-related frustration and support requests
LastPass also supports Cyber Essentials access control requirements, including secure password storage, unique passwords, password generation, compromised credential alerts, and MFA for administrative and internet-accessible accounts.
Improving credential security across SaaS environments
As organisations adopt more SaaS tools, credential security must extend beyond individual accounts. IT teams need visibility into which applications are being used, how credentials are being managed, and where risky behaviours may exist.
LastPass SaaS Protect helps organisations move from visibility to control. IT teams can block, restrict, or approve access to SaaS applications, guide users with real-time messages, and identify risky behaviour such as weak or reused passwords. This is especially valuable for organisations looking to reduce Shadow SaaS, improve credential hygiene, and maintain stronger control over how business applications are accessed.
LastPass SaaS Protect also supports audit-ready reporting for frameworks including SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR.
A partnership built around practical security
Secon works with technology partners that help organisations solve real-world security challenges. LastPass fits this approach because credential risk affects almost every business, and addressing it is one of the most practical steps an organisation can take.
At Secon, we partner with vendors that help our customers solve real-world security challenges. Passwords remain a major source of risk for organisations, especially as users, devices, and SaaS applications continue to grow. LastPass gives businesses a practical way to strengthen credential security, improve visibility, and make secure access easier for employees. This partnership allows us to help our customers take meaningful steps towards reducing identity-based risk.
Credential-based threats remain one of the most consistent risks facing UK organisations, and most of them are preventable. Secon understands the security challenges their customers face day to day, and LastPass gives them a proven way to address those challenges at scale. This is a partnership built around outcomes that matter to real IT teams.
